    There a certain extension for impact to remove 14mm bolts for driveshaft (going into transfer case) - couple I can’t reach with crescent wrench. or just recommended to lifting rear axle and spin it freely? Tia

    Please don't use a crescent wrench. It just rounds off the nuts/bolt heads.

    If you need to jack up the rear and use jack stands so you can rotate the shaft. Make sure you chock the front wheels so it doesnt run over you.
